Another corset

2011-12-05T16:31:00.005+01:00

I have not much to tell you, I'm still working on some sets, a lot of sets......
But I like to thank you all for your lovely comments on my previous posts, I saw that I have over 600 followers now, so I have to make something for a giveaway soon.

Have a nice week, * marlies
*

I was thinking........

2011-11-13T17:26:00.007+01:00

Could I make a set in 1:24 scale........?
Yes, it can, it is very small, but it does.......
And the bra can open!

The lace I used for finishing is a little too wide, but is there any narrower lace or trim?
This is the finest lace I have...

I used my ruler to see the size, it is in cm.
Sorry, the pictures are not so good, it is very colt and dark weather outside.
*

Little one

2011-11-05T15:46:00.008+01:00

When I was watching everything I did for my ladies shop, I came across this corset.
I made this a while ago, and I thought, could this also in 1:24.....?

So I give it a try and here it is,

I think its cute!

Here they are together,

Yes, the backside too!

Need a size more?

2011-10-20T17:25:00.004+02:00

Not all women have the same size, therefore this set for a bigger size.
I'm still working on the lingerie, and trying more other models too.
These cups are slightly larger and more closed to support the breasts, the panties have a bit of effort to correct the belly. I do not know if this are the right words for this.

More.....

2011-09-29T15:59:00.003+02:00

These I have to finish,

Thank you all for the lovely compliments, I feel very honored !

There are some of you asking if I sell these sets, Yes I do, but I'm working on some orders now, but if they are done, I will put some on my etsy, so you have to be patient.

So, I have to work one more day and I'm free to do minies!! YIPPEE!!

Some more

2011-09-28T23:43:00.005+02:00

Next week I have a week vacation, I'm looking forward to that!
In the little spare time I have I did some more lingerie.

*

What am I doing?

2011-09-12T17:24:00.005+02:00

I'm trying to make shoes for the ladies shop, I thought I start with slippers, which look not so hard....... it really is very small!
I do not have the right leather for the soles, I used suede, this keeps fraying.

It seems that the giveaway of Geneviève is lost in the mail, so I'm of to make a new set for her, luckily she waits patiently.
*

More lingerie

2011-08-28T18:04:00.009+02:00

I did make another set, this time I'm realy happy with it,

this one is made from differend old laces and is just the look that I wanted to have it. The pantie is just right now, not to big.

I got some mail, asking about my laces and fabrics.

Here are the 3 laces I used for this set. It is realy old and has some staining and discoloration.

1* From this lace I only used the fabric, it was a real measuring, because the fabric was not wide enough. For axample, the panties is out of 5 pieces, but you do not see anything of that.
2* This lace I used for the cups and the top of the panties.
3* This one piping and finishing.

Do you know who this is?

This picture was taken on vacation in France.
He is here for a sleep over, so I'm off, playing with him before he is going to bed.
*

Lingerie

2011-08-25T17:01:00.006+02:00

Yesterday I had some time to do something about miniatures, I'm still in the lingerie.
I created a new model bra, not the way I always did.
It had to seem like a real bra is.....

I'm not completely satisfied, must still consider how to make the back closure, there is a pin in now. The panties may be a little more sexy, which is very very solid now.
But it will do in a drawer of the ladies shop.
Need to make some more, it is fun to do!
*

Thank you for all your kind reactions on my give away, it is fun to do, so I will do it again!

Thank you and winners

2011-08-18T20:14:00.011+02:00

Thank you all for congratulations and participating in my giveaway.
I'm sorry I was not here yesterday, I received so many visits on my birthday, I had no time to blog, but here I am!

Geneviéve, Doreen and Ultsu, so please sent me your addresses. You can mail me here -click-

Time

2011-07-29T22:04:00.006+02:00

I just need more time......
It's been a while, huh? I was busy in the house of our daughter who was 3 weeks on vacation, tomorrow they come home. Then I can cuddle Dax again, I missed him.

I promised a few people a few things and they're almost ready, I hope that after the weekend I can bring them to the postoffice. I can not show you any pictures yet, then it is not a suprise.

Now everyone is on holiday, I have to work more days, so at night I am so tired that I often fall asleep on the couch.......
Now I'm so terribly behind in blogging, sometimes my lack of energy left to respond to your blog. I'm sorry about that!
I saw that my number of followers just keep growing....... It is al over 500!
I really think it's time for a giveaway, I've never done it ..........
Why not? Very simply, I dare not..

So leave a message and maybe you win one of my give-aways, on August 17th, my birthday, I will announce three winners.
I wish you all good luck and hopefully I see you soon with a visit to your blogs!

Arrived

2011-06-30T21:36:00.002+02:00

A few days ago the giveaway from Linda, http://une-petite-folie.blogspot.com/, arrived!
It is a beautiful miniature book of Linda's french house, my petite maison.
The book was made by Maria, http://ilcucchiainomagico.blogspot.com/, and it is so beautiful made, you can realy read!

At first I could not believe I won that beautiful book, I can not discribe how happy I am with it!
I know I am a lucky winner.
It will have a place in my dollhouse shop, that I started a while ago........
I can not show you any pictures of it now, I took the front off to work on that, now the shop is a little dusty......
This is the last picture I took from it,

but with my beautiful present, all the more reason to go further and finished it.
Thank you Linda for this very beautiful giveaway, I am very happy with it!
*

I'm realy sad......

2011-05-25T16:32:00.003+02:00

I can not stay logged in by blogger, I have to sign in everytime.........
Sometimes I do not follow any blog............
And worst of all........ I can not leave a comment on your blogs.......
When I do, I have to choose an identity, but he does not recognizes me anymore......

What can I do? I wait and see, maybe it goes away just like last time......

Hope to see you soon on your blog!

playtime

2011-05-23T00:57:00.005+02:00

Maybe the girl does not want to bake,

she wants to play with her dollhouse and unpack her new furniture!

My tray

2011-05-22T15:38:00.015+02:00

This morning I saw a workshop of a breakfast tray from Juli at:http://miniaturebyjuli.blogspot.com/
That reminded my of a table I did some mosaic on, some time ago.

I had to start my old computer to find the pictures of it!

Here are some details.

At that time, I thought it would be nice to make a workshop of it........
I did made the pictures............. but I never finished the workshop........

But I will share it with you with the pica's that I do have:

* It starts with eggshells, wash them and then paint in the colors you like, sometimes its better to do a couple of layers.

* Then add glossy varnish on them and let dry. Then break the shells into very tiny pieces.
I took a ready tray and painted in a matching color,

* Draw a design, think of a simple decor,

* Then start with puzzle the shells in to your decor,

* It looks no good, but it will be better,

* If your decor is ready, you can fill the background with a mathing color, try to fill every space,

* This is what it looks like

And then I did not take pictures of the finished tray.......

I've searched, but I can not find it, I can't remember where I put it.....
But with the pica's I have it must be a peace of cake! ;)

* You can now cover it with grout, be sure it is very fine, better you sifting and use only the fine grout. Gypsum powder is what I used.

I hope it is a bit obvious, Google helped me with translation, but he gives not always the word I'm looking for.
If you have any questions you can always mail me or leave a message.

Hope you like it and you will try sometime,

see you again!

Little baking

2011-05-21T23:28:00.005+02:00

Sometimes a have to do something else, I'm busy with a swap and some more, but I can't help myself, then there is something in my mind and then I have to try to make it.
This is a little baking set for a little girl,

now I can continue with my duties.
Thank you for your sweet messages on my previous post, also there are still new followers "WELCOME"
and I can not even keep up your blogging......... sometimes I feel guilty about that...
I need more time!
*

As promised

2011-05-11T21:27:00.000+02:00

Yesterday I said I would show you today more items out off paper, this is a wildcrown, I don't know if you call it that way........ This one is for wall hanging.

This is out off paper too, the hooks are bent nails!

Then I saw this picture on the internet,

And I made this out off it

I made him a little used,

And thats what you can do with it, you can put in other stuff too.......

This one is also out off paper, see you next time!
*

Paper again

2011-05-10T12:19:00.008+02:00

In some way I am addicted to paper and paperboard, you may have seen that jar I made recently? And when I'm busy doing paper stuff, I can not stop,then I have to try out everything in my mind.......... is that addiction?

This time a tried a plantstand and a boiler............

They look very nice, but there can still be improved, did you see the lid can come off?

I also made a bathtub for a little girl to bath her dolls, but this one a show you later.
See you next time, I realy need to do something on my ladiesshop again, no more distractions!!!!

Ultimate Dog Tease

2011-05-05T20:47:00.001+02:00

You have to watch this......... it's so pathetic.......... ahh

I'm still here

2011-05-02T11:40:00.010+02:00

Firstly I thank everyone for the kind and nice comments on my previous post. I was working on the Mothersday-swap Dale organized, but it is on his way now! So I can't show you any pica's of that... But I'm very nervous if my swappartner, Patty, will like it.

While I was surfing on the internet yesterday, I saw this picture

I don't now where it was. But I liked the jar on the table, so I thought I give it a try,

Here is mine, thats what I've been doing.

And here is another one!
See you!

a little update

2011-04-10T23:49:00.017+02:00

Today was a beautiful sunny day and I had some time to do something. I made some shelves and drawers in my closed, a tedious job, but it must fit.

The entire cabinet is made of cardboard, only on the front I used some thin wooden strips. In the corners are mirrors, I want to set a small mannequin in there, on both sides.

I made a start with the front of the store, but it did not turned out the way I want, so I have to think about that.

Does somebody know why you can not click on my picture?

Can somebody help me?

2011-03-31T13:54:00.003+02:00

I'm deeply ashamed for no blogging the past time, but I was verry buzy with work and my grandson, it is realy fun with him and he is growing verry fast! But now for my question,

I was visiting your beautiful blogs and wanted to ad myself as a follower, but I can't anymore, because I have 300 on my list?? Now I have to stop following some blogs?? How rude is that?

Is there another way to do this? I hope you understand what I mean and there is a solution.

I also want to say thank you for those who still following my blog although I'm currently do not blog as much as I would like.

I hope to see you soon with a update off my minies!

Garland display

2011-01-05T09:54:00.003+01:00

I have two friends who also do minies.
We have not seen each other a number of weeks, that is because of my work. A while back we dicided that we are going to make a christmas shop, so it will be finished for this years christmas.
Today we meet again to craft. I made them a little surprise, a garland display for their christmas shop.

I hope they will like them.

Here I'm again, its been along time.
After a very sad time I lost my inspiration to do minies. In the meantime, Dax did very well, he likes to swim in the bad!!

Now I thought it was about time to do minies again, and I found my desire and inspiration back!! I started with making a new home for my ladies-store, it was in a frame and became very dusty from waiting for me.

I built a new wall unit in a viewing box, I still have to make the drawers. I also like big windows in the front, so I can show a lot off ladies things. Yes I have fun again play again with minies!!

see you soon

Thank you

2010-02-22T23:47:00.003+01:00

*
for all those sweet wishes and sympathy, which was great to read. I was quite touched.
Dax is doing great, he even opened his eyes. I can not wait until I can hold him.

My daughter and her friend have the best miniature!

Newborn

2010-02-20T23:55:00.005+01:00

I was a bad blogger lately, I was busy with my work and I have a very sick father I care for, he soon gets surgery.
And then it did not go well with the pregnancy of my daughter, but it turned out well!
Eight weeks prematurely, he was born!
I'm sooooo in love, I'm very proud to introduce to you my grandson, DAX !

He's in a couveuze and doing very well. So I'm a grandmom now!

See you again soon in blogland,

For all of you

2010-01-02T11:49:00.004+01:00

With lot of time to do your minies!

I wish you

" Merry Christmas "

Christmas

2009-12-16T00:05:00.004+01:00

*
I'm very buzy at the moment with taking care off my father, moving my daughter, she is pregnant, and her friend to a new home. I have not done my christmas tree yet.
So buzy buzy buzy!
But I'll show you an christmas-swap I made once for my friends, we do make things for our dollhouses together, normaly once a week.
It is a box with a christmas room in it in 1:48. I always forget something beside the item, so you can see how little the boxes are in real. They are 2,5 inch in square and 3 inch in height.

I did make the boxes and all myself, here is a picture without the glass, but not totaly finished.

Now I have a little christmas on my blog, I hope you like it.

The last one

2009-12-06T20:03:00.003+01:00

This one is leaving tomorrow for Italy.

For the tailor

2009-12-04T23:28:00.007+01:00

I made another chest, this one is for a tailor.

I hope he likes it.

Printies

2009-10-04T21:51:00.042+02:00

I have nothing to show you for now and Nuri is looking for some wallpaper, preferably with flowers. I did check my printies.
Some of them need some costumize/smaller perhaps, then you copy a whole page full and you have your wallpaper.

Make sure the printer is on highest quality and use good paper.

This paper is also great for making boxes and shoppingbags.

You can also print on fabric, so you'll have matching curtains and pillows.

So have fun, * marlies

Friend

2009-10-03T21:10:00.000+02:00

A friend of mine has just created a blog,

You might find it fun to go and look, she has made a beautiful scene in a candle box.
http://gondasminiaturen.blogspot.com/

*

another one

2009-09-04T19:45:00.001+02:00

A friend liked my chest with the sewing stuff and asked if I would make another one for her friends birthday.

So I did.

Now somebody ask me if I could make one for a Tailor, I don't know if the word is right? It must be les feminine.

Hope you like this one too.

Finally

2009-09-01T23:42:00.002+02:00

*
Finally I can show what I've done the last few days, I have my camera back.
I was inspired by Nikki, go take a look,
http://nikkinikkinikki72.blogspot.com/2009/08/in-reply-to-previous-post-and-how-to.html

She makes the most beautiful walls and floors of clay.
It was not as easy as I thought, but I'm happy with it.

I have yet to make a roof, then it becomes a repot corner, with a potting table.

So there is lots to do, see you soon!

A challenge

2009-08-16T11:55:00.003+02:00

This is the photo that came out.

Now I have to pass this challenge to 4 others, I will have to come back for that.

kitchen

2009-04-20T18:45:00.004+02:00

Something was wrong with my blog, you could not leave reactions and I did not change anything at the settings. So here we go again,

This an update from my kitchen, I'm buzy with the upper cabbinets, I do not work with a plan, I do now how my kitchen must look in my head and I work a little chaotic.

Now I'm busy with the upper cabinets and now I need some help. It's becoming verry dark with this bleu, do you think I could make the upper cabinets white inside? You have to see what's inside? Now I was thinking maby I should paint the kitchen in a lighter bleu?

I like to see what you think, now I'm off, I have to go an online miniture project, and my dog really needs to pee before it starts.

Hopefully you can leave reactions now!

I'll come back later this evening to say hi to my new followers, sorry!

I am so happy, my vase has come today all from Australia.
Linda from http://une-petite-folie.blogspot.com/ did sell vases made by margaret Crosswell, verry beautiful and handmade.
I saw them on Linda's blog and could not resist the temptation, so I bought one for myself.
Now I am so pleased with it, it is sooooo beautiful and miniature, my photography does not honor
this beautiful vase. So I have to start verry soon with my livingroom in the dollhouse!

click!

Thank you Linda and let Margaret know that I am verry happy with her beautiful vase.
She should try a website.

I made a start to make a kitchen from board, I know how it must be, but I am not sure about the color........ perhaps, I should use a lighter bleu.

It gets a wooden blade and I want some creme tiles. In the back, comes in a cooker.

Now I am looking for floors, what a difficult decisions...

pattern

2009-03-13T14:12:00.001+01:00

Sorry, i forgot the pattern

2009-03-13T12:47:00.035+01:00

*

This is how I make my cans:

* draw the pattern that you want to use on a piece of paper. I used 180 and 200 grams paper. Use a pair of scissors to cut out the parts.

*

*

* start rolling - on a soft surface - the parts. I use my upper leg (see picture) Use a pen the get the correct shape.

* glue the parts together

* take a good look at the jug. make sure its round or else start over again using the pen. If it's ok, glue the jug to a piece of paper. Let it dry.

* cut out the jug, using the bottom as a guide.

* paint the inner side of the jug at least 2 times. If the paper you used has a white substrate, because you have a printed design, make sure you paint the inner side at least 2 time with plain white paint before you start with the color. This prevents the darker paint seeing through later went the jug gets varnished. It also strenghtens the paper. Let it dry

* when the paint is dry glue the pouring spout to the jug and paint it in the same color as used for the inside of the jug. Also paint a strip a paper in the color of the handle of the jug.

* now we are getting to the hardest part of this workshop, use a small brush with a little bit paint and strike along the pouring spout. There should appear a small edge on the outerside. Maybe this has to be done two times. Also do this with the bottom of the jug.

** An other option is to glue a small wire to the edge and paint that.

* cut out the handle for the jug. I normally use 2 or 3 mm. And roll this also with the pen as before. You can choose to make the ends peak. Glue one side at the back-top side of the jug and let it dry. After that bend the handle down in the shape you like. Cut to fit (peak or not) and glue to jug.

* when the jug is completely dry you can start to varnish. Use the gloss varnish or nailpolish will do. Repaet this several times but do not put on to thick. It depends on the paper how often you have to do this but make sure that between the layers the jug dries. And ready it is!!

You can paint your can also on the outside and use tranfers, like this.

Or an traditional ....

If you have any questions, let me now! Have fun!

hello

2009-02-26T20:20:00.005+01:00

Hello all, here I am again!

We have celebrated Carnaval. This is a dutch festival, that mainly in the south of the country is celebrated. People dress funny clothes, make music and dancing with a parade trough the streets. This festival last three days. On the fourth day it ends with the "herring bite", you can eat anywhere free herring with onions. This is the beginning of the fasting period before easter.

I first had to remove everything from the carnaval, then I had some time to make a little hat.

This is also coming in the ladies shop.

I made roses, for the first time, I need more practice, but they will do.

Tomorrow I will show a picture of the ladies shop so far.

* I would also like to WELCOME my new followers, I find it verry nice to see new ones.

I had no time to look at your site, but that I would catch up as soon as possible.

Tonight I will spent time to see what you have made in the meantime,

See you tomorrow!
